PC Factory

What PC Factory does

PC Factory Co., Ltd. (株式会社ピーシーファクトリー) is a private Japanese IT services company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture. The company specializes in electronic medical record (EMR) implementation and ongoing support for medical clinics (診療所) across the Kansai, Chugoku, and Shikoku regions, covering nine prefectures. Its core offering is the deployment, customization, and maintenance of the Dynamics (ダイナミクス) EMR system, an open-source platform developed by Dr. Masahiko Yoshihara, which unifies patient reception, accounting, and insurance claim (レセプト) processing.

The company has supplemented its Dynamics practice with a suite of proprietary software: m489lan for barcode/QR-code auto-reception, extractDyna for patient data extraction and mapping, and Dyna_COMM for integration with medical measurement devices from manufacturers including NIHON KOHDEN, Sysmex, Siemens, Omron, and A&D. Additional offerings include internet-based reservation systems (m489, m489time) on a monthly subscription, automated change machines integrated with SmartRegi for PayPay and credit card payments, RS-Base filing software support for DICOM X-ray and lab data, and Osirix-based CT/MRI viewing setup services.

PC Factory operates a direct, on-site field sales model, with technical staff visiting clinics for free initial consultation, system design, hardware/software procurement, installation, and ongoing support via phone, email, VPN-based remote maintenance, and on-site visits. The company monetizes through one-time hardware sales (PCs, servers, printers, cash dispensers), one-time software licenses (Dynamics at 320,000 yen, proprietary add-ons at 50,000-90,000 yen, change machines at 1,680,000 yen), recurring support contracts (annual or spot), and small monthly subscriptions (8,000 yen for reservation systems). A complete EMR system including hardware and software can be deployed for under 1 million yen. The company has served over 300 medical institutions cumulatively and maintains a parts inventory of more than 3,000 SKUs for rapid replacement.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• MedPeer: MedPeer operates a physician community platform and increasingly offers medical SaaS tools (including clinic EMR and marketing solutions). It targets the same small-clinic decision-makers as PC Factory with newer, web-native software, representing a modern competitive threat.
• CareNet, Inc. CareNet is a Japanese medical information platform serving physicians with clinical content, drug databases, and increasingly clinic-facing SaaS services. While focused on content, its expanding software suite places it adjacent to PC Factory's clinic IT footprint.

Direct peers

• EM Systems: EM Systems is a long-established Japanese clinic-focused EMR and medical accounting software vendor (TSE: 7774). It sells directly to medical clinics nationwide with bundled hardware/software/services — closely matching PC Factory's clinic IT value proposition but at significantly larger national scale.
• Medley: Medley is a Japanese health-tech company providing cloud-based electronic medical record (EMR) systems and operational support for clinics and pharmacies. It targets the same small-clinic customer base as PC Factory with a modern SaaS EMR alternative to Dynamics, making it a direct functional competitor in Japanese clinic IT.

Others

• Smaregi Inc. Smaregi is a leading Japanese cloud-based POS and cashless payment platform (TSE: 4443) that PC Factory integrates with to enable PayPay and credit card payments at clinic cashier machines. It is a complementary enabling technology rather than a direct EMR competitor, but its role in clinic payment digitization parallels PC Factory's role in clinic EMR.

Broad incumbents

• Canon Medical Systems: Canon Medical Systems supplies diagnostic imaging systems (CT, MRI, ultrasound) and increasingly offers healthcare IT solutions including PACS and clinical informatics. It overlaps with PC Factory's imaging-adjacent clinic IT services (RS-Base/X-ray integration, Osirix setup) at much larger scale.
• Nihon Kohden: Nihon Kohden is a major Japanese manufacturer of medical electronic equipment (patient monitors, ECGs, blood cell counters) with growing IT/software offerings for clinics. PC Factory explicitly integrates Nihon Kohden devices via Dyna_COMM, making it both a supplier and a potential broad-suite competitor in clinic IT.
• M3, Inc. M3 operates m3.com, Japan's largest physician platform, plus a portfolio of healthcare IT and clinical trial services. While far broader than PC Factory, it increasingly targets the same clinic IT decision-makers with adjacent EMR, marketing, and operational software products.
